The city below me
Paints a picture of progress
With unspoken miracles
So commonly ignored
They’re scattered among us
Hidden, unseen
This church around me
Painted a picture of peace
With oft-spoken miracles
Uncommon but ignored
I’m scattered among them
Hidden, unseen
These lives distant from me
Painting a picture of purgatory
Their soft-spoken miracles
Too commonly ignored
They scatter from me
Hidden, unseen
